(13,431 posts)They like to inflate Trump's # while reducing Biden's # when Biden was over 7 million more than Trump.

(2,957 posts)rounding to the closest 5. But if only 10M had voted for him, it's a scary statistic for me.

81,268,924 for Biden"Official 2020 presidential general election results".
Federal Election Commission.

Biden won the popular vote by 7,052,770
That said, if just 21,461 votes (split between just 3 states, GA, WI, and AZ) had flipped from Biden to Trump, Trump would still be POTUS

(45,006 posts)But between an unexpected 17% increase in voter turnout and DuhDonald's response to Covid, so many people voted by mail that there probably weren't enough machine votes cast on Election Day to flip. Why do you think DuhDonald immediately took measures to sabotage the postal service?

(4,598 posts)70% were standard Republicans, voted for Romney and McCain, would vote for Lucifer if he had an R by his name.
30% voted for Trump-- the horrible man, and his horrible values and proclaimed positions.
They're all disgusting, but the standard Republicans mostly voted for someone else in the primaries, so they KNEW Trump wasn't worthy.

(2,493 posts)I believe the other 30 million thought he was an asshole but voted for him because of the R after his name.
